Advent is a hectic season for any minister, and the last thing the Rev. Wanda Duff needs is the suspicious death of a Scrooge to investigate...
But maybe it's appropriate that victim Stuart Baier's funeral service is as colossal an inconvenience as the man himself was. The local benefactor certainly left the town's charities in an uproar, with news of his embezzlement from multiple nonprofits breaking on the same morning as his accidental death.
Vice Principal Prudence Rye has her hands more than full with end-of-semester shenanigans at Stoneridge High, her dad's approaching nuptials, and both of her best friends turning up the heat on their mutual attraction. She'd love to take a pass on additional drama. It's too bad, then, that her boss's mistakes threaten to take them both down in the embezzlement scandal Scrooge Baier kicked off, and Rye has little choice but to join Wanda in asking questions about the local tycoon's mysterious demise.
The more folks Wanda and Rye talk to, the more they begin to wonder who didn't have a motive to do away with Stone Ridge's very own Scrooge-and that's before the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future show up to offer tips on the investigation. With a production of A Christmas Carol to stage, a wedding and a funeral to pull off, and a crime to solve, the Rev and Rye are about to have an Advent season they'll never forget.
